<h2>A Nova Scotia company developing a new method for growing and harvesting algae to supply biofuel for the aviation industry has been declared one of the world's best clean technology start-ups.</h2><p&g...
In early 2012, WELTEC BIOPOWER started building a 526-kW biogas plant in Saint-Nicolas-du-Tertre, Brittany,about 60 miles northwest of Nantes. The plant is equipped with a fermenter of 3,052 cubic metres and separator, solid matter dosing feeder, two storage tanks, digestate storage unit, pump station, control, and drying.
The usage of forest biomass for producing energy has begun worldwide. However, a new study has demonstrated that such usage may not be sustainable and release higher greenhouse gas emissions.
Researchers from Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI), Virginia Tech have constructed the draft genome of a marine algae sequence to help US researchers identify better algae species for biodiesel production.
Lidón Herrera Prats, a final year master degree student at Universitat Jaume I (UJI), has conducted a study that shows biodrying is an effective alternative technique to produce energy from solid waste. She used greenhouse biodrying technology and force ventilated reactors for the study. Another innovation in her study was the use of garden waste instead of municipal waste.
Oil Palm Biomass Center (OPBC), a public-private partnership, has been opened in Malaysia to benefit the economy and climate. The consortium includes collaboration of 18 partners from global industries and technical universities to develop, test and optimize innovative upstream and downstream technologies for application of oil palm biomass.
LS9, a developer of sustainable products that address the requirements of global chemical and fuel sectors, has won the Sustainable Biofuels Technology Award for its industrial biotechnology platform.
Vega Biofuels, based in London, has planned to deliver its bio-coal, a renewable energy product, to power generation companies in Europe during the 1Q of 2013. Recently, the company has made an announcement that it intends to construct a manufacturing facility in Cordele, Georgia.
WELTEC BIOPOWER, a producer and distributor of complete biogas plants made of stainless steel, has started the construction of a biogas park in Arneburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany in March 2012.
A new study, published in ACS' Environmental Science & Technology journal, has shown that to meet the present biofuel production targets with current technology, approximately 80% of existing agricultural landscape in the U.S. needs to be used for growing corn for ethanol production. Another alternative solution would involve the conversion of 60% of current rangeland to biofuels.
